Sarah Palin calls it "unflippingbelievable." Tim Pawlenty declares that it's "crony politics." And Newt Gingrich claims that it "presents an enormous danger for corruption."

These and other top Republicans have been piling on the Obama administration lately for what has snowballed into a major scandal on the right—what GOPers charge is evidence of cronyism and dirty dealing involving Obama's signature health care reform law.

The controversy boils down to this: As the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has gone into effect, the Obama administration has exempted certain businesses, states, and insurance companies from complying with the law, often temporarily. Republicans view these waivers as proof that Democrats are granting favors to political allies, pointing, among other things, to a disproportionate number of exemptions granted to businesses in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's district.

The GOP's latest round of political attacks has emerged from a series of articles published by Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller last month. But on closer examination, the web site's allegations of favoritism don't hold up.

1. All I can say is

Tucker Carlson is a right wing moron who only knows how to lie, not tell the truth. Anyone who even listens to that moron would have to be insane also!
